A Kinara is a carved, wooden candle holder, used to house the 7 candles which are part of the celebration of Kwanzaa. The Kinara should be hewn from natural, untreated wood, contain metal cups in the wells for each candle for safety, and usually has a culturally relevant image carved in the Kinara. Each candle represents one of the 7 principles of Kwanza. These principles are to be used throughout the year by African and African American (Black) people of the Diaspora for the betterment of themselves, their families and their collective nation. Candles are used in many traditional African rituals and celebrations, as they provide one of the four necessary elements of life; fire. The candle also represent light, which is used to light our way through the ever present darkness of ignorance, showing us the way to a bright new future!
